The Icarus Deception

Seth Godin's latest book certainly has an interesting title yet continues Godin's proven tradition of providing inspirational and thought-provoking writing for people in a wide variety of endeavors.  If you've read Godin before or follow his blog, some of the book feels like a review of previous work, but even if that's the case, this book will still fire you up!

One of the more interesting takeaways:

No one ever gets talker’s block.  No one wakes up in the morning, discovers he has nothing to say, and sits quietly, for days or weeks, until the muse hits, until the moment is right, until all the craziness in life has died down.  Why, then, is writer’s block endemic?

The application is for more than just writers.  Few of us ever have a problem with knowing what to say, what to talk about, or explaining ourselves.  Many of us, though, do have a problem when it comes to creating something.
